The question

Is it permissible to request separation from a religiously committed fiancé who, however, listens to music, watches movies, talks to girls within the work context, and does not encourage obedience, in addition to feeling dissatisfied with his height and appearance, and the characteristic of stinginess, along with the fear of his injustice or that Allah might reciprocate that in a future partner?

The answer

We commend the questioner for her keenness to adhere to Allah's Shari'ah, and we note that her husband is a good person who maintains prayer and religious duties, which is a blessing in these times. Since the marriage contract has been concluded, she is not permitted to seek a divorce without a valid need, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce without any compelling reason, the scent of Paradise will be forbidden to her." Perfection is rare, and every human being has shortcomings. A committed woman can influence her husband to compensate for any religious deficiencies. What the questioner mentioned about her husband regarding stinginess and tall stature might just be a mere assumption or a whisper from Satan. She is advised to seek refuge with Allah from Satan and to make abundant supplications.
